yes, that might be an approach, just use venti...but what I'd like to do is use the last fossil dump. my machine is unbootable at the moment, since /bin and some other stuff have been wiped off the harddisk. There actually has been no filesystem damage. This can only be the cause of my braindamage.
What i think i need to do is: boot from livecd get venti running somehow get fossil running with venti somehow revert fossil to the last dump reboot I am trying to find out how to do the venti and fossil steps... Of course, if i'm wrong, please enlighten me, as i am still quite ignorant of the inner workings of the system, fossil and venti. Thanks, though.
